you might be crazy if...

you get up at 5 am to go grocery shopping. who would do such a thing? well, me.

i am crazy.

this is a bad picture. but, here's the bottom line:

total spent: $21

total saved: $83 (i totalled it up wrong earlier... this is way better!)

i went early to harris teeter to get all the best deals before they were gone. couldn't believe they had already run out of something!!!

i should have saved more, but ran into a few obstacles...

i had an extremely coupon-friendlyless cashier (who was stationed at the customer service desk) which made things difficult. she said that the coupon triples didn't start until 7 am. i told her that all the ads say it starts with the new sale which began at midnight. she looked over the ad and then said, "okay, i guess we can do it now." thanks a bunch.

then, she scanned all my coupons (oh, let me mention that i had to use the self check-out because no one was working - but, the customer service cashier who was there told me she'd help with my coupons after i scanned everything) and didn't want to triple any of the coupons that said not to. normally, as long as the barcodes begin with a "5" they will still triple. they were tripling, she just changed it so they wouldn't. i convinced her that in the past, it has ALWAYS been okay. after much grumbling, on her part, she tripled almost all of them. then, she didn't want to give me the instant $5 off from the general mills promotion. finally, i explained it to her and she gave it to me. needless to say, it was not my most favorite triples trip! i will go back tomorrow at a different time to hopefully get a coupon friendly cashier.

sidenote: although the cashier was extremely difficult, she was still kind and never rude. i appreciate that.

notes for my coupon friends: they were out of totino's pizza rolls (15 count). green giant vegetables aren't included in the general mills promotion. a lot of the sale items had not yet been labeled at the time i went.

can't wait to go again!
